Her singing career was much shorter than her time as an actress, but I do like "Suki ni Naru Sozai" for Mizusawa's light vocals, the bossa-inflected melody and a simple melody that works. Mizusawa herself took care of both words and music. I might say that this could have been a Junko Yagami（八神純子）number even before Yagami started her own illustrious career. The interesting thing here is that repeated keyboard riff which seems to make the song sound a bit more contemporary than it was.
I've been a fan of Japanese popular music for 40 years, and have managed to collect a lot of material during that time. So I decided I wanted to talk about Showa Era music with like-minded fans. My particular era is the 70s and 80s (thus the "kayo kyoku"). The plus part includes a number of songs and artists from the last 30 years and also the early kayo. So, let's talk about New Music, aidoru, City Pop and enka.

Yumi Mizusawa -- Suki ni Naru Sozai（好きになる素材）
